I have just installed an extra 512mb ram to my advent t9002 I bough from pc world and is ddr 400 Which is physically compatible with my mother board but the machine does not recognise the upgrade. I have tried just running the new module which seems to be fine, and have interchanged the positions of the old and new modules. I have also run the mircosoft mem program and found no faults. Please could anybody help me resolve this issue.
